Had a great day on the water today. The weather was beautiful and the company was even better. I fished with Russ and Marie on a half-day morning trip. We made one stop for some drum and nothing, so we made a big move and it paid of for us. We had to fish hard today, the tide was going out very slow and then we slack for the rest of the trip. It ended up being a good day though, we had 5 stripers and 2 drum for the day. We lost 4 0r 5 more on top of that. I'm not sure what Russ hooked into but it had different plans than we did as it swam off into the shallow muddy water. I think today was a first for me as I left my camera sitting in the truck. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics Marie took for us today though. Thanks guys, had a great time.

I just got back from a trip to Fl., thought I could bring some of the nice weather back with me, it didn't work. I did a little fishing while I was down there but mother nature had different ideas for me. I did get by D.O.A. headquarters while I was down there to load up on supplies for the summer. They are some great people over there and if you ever get the chance to use their products I highly recommend it. Not only do they catch fish, they stand up to more than just one. After a tour of their facilities I found myself trying to figure out how I was going to get it all home with me. Needless to say I got it here.
I went out yesterday looking around and ended up catching 7 stripers up to 22", 2 puppy drum and 1 flounder. The fishing should only get better from here on out. If the weather would just stay steady and quit going from highs to lows we will be in good shape.

Had a trip on Thursday, didn't turn out to well. We fished for 5 hours without a bite. Had a great time with you guys even though the fish were hard headed.

Had two trips today, the first one started out with a Big bite fast, he ran and ran and keep on running. Will got him within 10' of the boat and but the fish had other ideas. I will say he was the largest one I have seen this year being a good 33" to 35". After that the tide went slack and so did the bites. Had a great time listening to Laura and Ann's gossip. I just hope my grammar and spelling is correct on this report.

On the afternoon trip I had Walt, Roger and Miguel which was cool being they were Grandpa, Uncle and Grandson. We had a great time even though Miguel put it on us older people. Once the tide started to move the fish started biting a little better for us. Miguel showed us how a jig catches drum and then he showed us how cut bait rigs catch drum. He ended up with two fish

17 1/2" and one over 28". I want to thank everybody for a great day on the water and a special thanks to the two little ones for fishing so hard.
